Special Skills Page

In the past year several instructors have indicated their desire to assist with Specialized Instruction but have not had the opportunity to assist.  We are in need of Instructors in multiple areas, but especially in these “skill” areas.

We are posting the dates in advance with the hope that instructors will contact the academy indicating their desire to assist.  Prior coordination of Officers with their supervisors and training officers regarding the dates will hopefully result in increased availability. 

These dates are “ranges” of dates, and may need to be adjusted slightly, for example they may include state holidays, but this will give you an idea when the courses are. 

 If you are interested in helping, please see the Staff page of the website, and email the coordinator responsible for that program

Special Skills Instructor re-certification workshops:

The Academy is going to continue in 2010, the “Instructor Workshop” concept.

There are multiple advantages to these “Workshops” In many of these specialty areas of Instruction; skills are somewhat “subjective.”  Their may be variations on how different Instructors do specific skills, and most importantly how they teach others to perform these skills.

These workshops will allow for multiple Instructors to come together and interact with their peer Instructors and make sure that there are ways that they teach these skills are “standardized”, this will reduce confusion.

If Officers are a “Specialty Instructor” they do not need to attend this in addition to General re-certification. Attending one of these workshops will re-cert their Specialty Instructor status as well as their General Instructor status, and provides In-Service credit.

Once this program is fully implemented--Attendance at one of the specialized skills instructor re-certifications will be required to teach at the Academy.
